The knee should be stable or a concomitant ligament reconstruction should be performed.

The reality is that quite often meniscal tears do not clearly fall into the above criteria and may be responsible for relatively lower meniscal repair rates in some centres. Age of the patient and chronicity of tear are not contraindications for meniscal repair. Incomplete stable tears do not require repair. The intra-operative dilemma usually is whether the tear is peripheral enough. The commonest tears are in the posterior third of the medial or lateral meniscus and it is important to develop arthroscopy skills to visualise the ‘rim width’ in this area of the meniscus. The vascular zone has been shown to be present in the peripheral 4mm or up to 25-30% of meniscal periphery. Adequate preparation of the tear edges using rasps/shavers, meniscal trephination and synovial abrasion can help increase success rates and extend indications for meniscal repair into white-white zones. The success of newer generation suture based all inside techniques along with the above augmentation techniques should help the surgeon increase repair rates and improve results.]]> General http://www.kneeguru.co.uk/KNEEsurgeon/index.php?itemid=160 Mon, 24 Sep 2007 11:32:13 +0000 http://www.kneeguru.co.uk/KNEEsurgeon/index.php?itemid=137 To know of symptoms, you have then proceeded
To look and feel and move the painful knee
To postulate the main pathology.]]> General http://www.kneeguru.co.uk/KNEEsurgeon/index.php?itemid=137 Sun, 15 Apr 2007 10:50:13 +0000 http://www.kneeguru.co.uk/KNEEsurgeon/index.php?itemid=136
Now before you start the tender task
Of examination, you must ask
"Where is this pain? If you can be precise
"To show me its location would be nice"]]> General http://www.kneeguru.co.uk/KNEEsurgeon/index.php?itemid=136 Sun, 15 Apr 2007 10:46:33 +0000 http://www.kneeguru.co.uk/KNEEsurgeon/index.php?itemid=135 Informed quite well in all the details how
Pain within the knee is generated
And how it can be treated and ablated.]]> General http://www.kneeguru.co.uk/KNEEsurgeon/index.php?itemid=135 Sun, 15 Apr 2007 10:40:15 +0000 http://www.kneeguru.co.uk/KNEEsurgeon/index.php?itemid=134 One skin cut down the middle is all there needs to be.
For this goes down the watershed where venous blood divides
Medially and laterally to drain to both the sides.]]> General http://www.kneeguru.co.uk/KNEEsurgeon/index.php?itemid=134 Sun, 15 Apr 2007 10:37:41 +0000 http://www.kneeguru.co.uk/KNEEsurgeon/index.php?itemid=132
The OrthoGlide implant is inserted within the knee joint to replace some of the cartilage function lost to osteoarthritis. The procedure requires significantly less tissue and no bone removal as other replacement options do.

We are trying to maintain a patient's natural knee as long as possible. And although we don't know yet if we'll be able to totally avoid a knee replacement, things are looking very positive with our early results. Patients report much quicker recovery times with less physical therapy than a partial or total knee replacement. They also experience pain relief and a good range of motion after undergoing the hour-long procedure. However, it is still too early to know for how long the implant will last and if these patients will still need the more extensive standard operation.
